Manchester Area

Are you an Associate or Associate Director who is already operating at a senior leadership level, but has reached a ceiling in your current business?

We’re working exclusively with an established Building Services consultancy to appoint a new Director who can join the existing leadership team and play a key role in the next stage of the business.

Why this opportunity?

• Genuine Director-level influence – become part of the leadership team and help shape the future of the business.
• Long-term ownership potential – the intention is for the right person to work towards ownership over time.
• Leadership – manage teams, deliver projects and develop people.
• Project delivery is key – they need someone who genuinely knows how to deliver successful projects.
• Business development – bringing in work and developing client relationships would be a major advantage.
• Established leadership team – join two existing Directors and become part of the wider leadership structure.
• Strong package – salary, substantial performance-based bonus, car allowance and excellent pension.

About the company?

This is an established Building Services consultancy based in Manchester, with a team of around 30 people.

The business has experienced significant growth over the last five years, going from just 5 people to 30 and more than tripling its turnover during that time. They work across a broad range of sectors and have built their reputation around quality engineering, strong project delivery and long-term client relationships.

They’re now at an exciting stage of their growth and are looking to strengthen their Director-level team with someone who can help drive the next chapter of the business.

The business already has two Directors who you could join. The intention is for the successful candidate to become part of this Director-level team, with the potential to work towards ownership themselves over time.

About the position

We’re ideally looking for someone from an Electrical Building Services background, although a Mechanical Engineer with the right leadership and project delivery experience would absolutely be considered.

You’ll need to be an excellent project leader and people manager, but this isn't purely a management position. They're looking for a team player who can contribute technically, commercially and, ideally, help bring new work into the business.

This could be a particularly strong opportunity for an Associate or Associate Director who is already doing much of this work but has reached the ceiling of what they can achieve in their current business.

If you're ambitious, commercially minded and looking for a genuine route towards something bigger than your current position, I'd be very interested in speaking with you.
